Are You Ready?

Devotion on Advent, Christian Living, Relationship with God, Acts 1:11b. 2 pages.

What would your answer be if someone were to ask you, “Are you ready to meet your maker?” This advent season is a wonderful time to remember that Jesus promised to return to us. Acts 1 states to us that when He arose into heaven, angels told His disciples, “This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven” (Acts 1:11b).

An Apple a Day

Devotion on Christian Living, John 15:16, 17. 3 pages.

“You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit – fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. This is my command: Love each other” (John 15:16,17). 

You have all heard the saying, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away.” Eating apples can give us energy and help keep our bodies healthy. Apples are a good fruit. God tells us to be like trees that bear good fruit. But what exactly does that mean?

Materials needed: Two baskets – one labeled “Good Fruit” and one “Bad Fruit.” The ten Bible verses listed below, written out, and cut apart; or print each verse on an apple shaped paper or tape verses to real apples. The verses should be sorted into the baskets. 

People needed: Leader and two volunteers will be needed to assist in “picking” the apples from each basket. One will read the “Bad Fruit” verses and the other the “Good Fruit” verses.

All Along Life's Way

Devotional Collection on Christian Living, Bible Women. Set of 10 devotions. 19 pages.

Is there a “prime time” for serving the Lord? Many would claim that they are too young. With youth comes “busyness” and there is no extra time to serve the Lord. Others would say that they are too old. With age comes tiredness and certainly, they feel God wouldn’t expect service from someone old and tired! The Bible, however, gives us many examples of women serving the Lord at all ages.

What these women did along life’s way may have been recorded in only a few words, such as the servant girl in Naaman’s household. Other times, an entire book is dedicated to the service of a woman, such as Esther or Ruth. In each case however, God thought their service to be significant enough to have it recorded for posterity in His Holy Word, the Bible. 

What can we learn from these women of the Bible, young, old and in-between, whom God called to serve Him in special ways? Beginning with the young, we look at their service “all along life’s way.” This is another series of “five minute devotions” written especially for (but not limited to) groups who would like to open their gatherings with more than a prayer, but less than a full Bible study.

THE BIBLICAL WOMEN
Naaman’s Servant Girl (Young Girl) 2 Kings 5:1-19
Esther (Young Adult) Esther 1-10
Wife of Manoah (Mother-To-Be) Judges 13:1-25
Eve (Mother) Genesis 4:1-8 
Eunice (Mother of a Teen) 2 Timothy 1:1-4 
Lydia (Working Woman) Acts 16:11-15
Abigail (Wife) 1 Samuel 25:1-44
Priscilla (Mentor) Acts 18:1-4; 24-26 
Anna (Prayer Warrior) Luke 2:36-38

A Grace-Full Woman

Devotion on Relationship with God, Ephesians 4:32. 1 page.

Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you (Ephesians 4:32).

Being graceful doesn’t come naturally to me. I’m the one who prefers shoes without heels, because honestly, I don’t trust myself not to twist an ankle while wearing them. Dancing, and particularly line-dancing, doesn’t come easily for me either. Although I can usually pick up the rhythm, the quick steps required to stay with the group make me feel clumsy and inept. Needless to say, the art of being a ballet dancer was never on my radar. 

Being a grace-full woman doesn’t come naturally to me, either. I am reminded in Romans 3:23 that … all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. I am sinful and thus an enemy of God. I deserve only God’s wrath and condemnation. I am separated from Him by an insurmountable wall of my sin, built daily – brick by brick, sin by sin.
